DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

1. File List: 
Single Excel file, with three windows: 
1.1. Giblett
1.2. Mourant
1.3. Diversity Apportionment Check

2. Relationship between windows: 
2.1. Giblett window shows recalculations for the relevant Shannon information measures from Lewontin 1972 for these genes/loci:
Haptoglobin (Hp)
Lipoprotein Ag (Ag)
Lipoprotein Lp (Lp)
alpha-2 Macroglobulin (Xm)
Red Cell Acid Phosphotase (APh)
6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD)
Phosphoglucomutase (PGM)
Adenylate kinase (AK)

2.2. Mourant window shows recalculations for the relevant Shannon information measures from Lewontin 1972 for these genes/loci:
Kidd (Jk)
Duffy (Fy)
Lewis (Le)
Kell (K)
Lutheran (Lu)
P
MNS
Rh
ABO

2.3. Diversity Apportionment Check window uses the diversity apportionments recalculated for each of 17 genes in Giblett and Mourant windows to show the true, recalculated apportionment values, and the overarching mean (average) of the true diversity apportionment values. Differences in percents between the apportionment values given by Lewontin 1972 and recalculated by Winther 2022 are also represented.    


3. There are no related data.


METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 
Original tables for the allele frequencies of each of the 17 genes were consulted and checked. Especially Giblett (1969) and Mourant (1954) were useful. 

Moreover, values of various measures were also taken from Table 3 of Lewontin (1972). 

Based on this data, all diversity apportionments for the 17 genes/loci of Lewontin’s classic study were recalculated. Recalculation methodology is described in two sections of Winther (2022): “The Measure of Diversity” and “The Results.”    

2. Methods for processing the data: 
Basic Excel functions (e.g., average; binary logarithm) greatly helped in redoing all of Lewontin’s original calculations, and checking them for accuracy.   

3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: 
Excel. 

4. All data was solely handled by the author.
